Chapter 1
Runic World. Near Maple Leaf Town – within Wild Boar Valley.
A team of Runemasters – three men and two women – were hunting an earth-yellow Wild Boar King over two meters tall, four meters long, and had a mysterious rune engraved on its head!
“Quick, quick, quick! Stop it! A Wild Boar King rarely appears in Wild Boar Valley, don’t let it get away! If we manage to take it down, we might even be able to obtain [High] rank runes!”
The girl in the lead, dressed in red Daoist robes and holding a staff in one hand, was energetically leading the team.
It was easy to see that their small party was well-accustomed to each other and working with chemistry.
Besides their combined assault, the Mini-Boss was slowly – but surely – going down.
When the Mini-Boss looked like it was about to drop, the girl eagerly approached it, disregarding the danger.
Her teammate, a boy whose chubbiness gave people a sense of security, stopped her, dissuading her: “Don’t! It’s not safe yet!”
“It’s fine! I can handle it!”
The girl stubbornly ignored the chubby boy and approached the Wild Boar King as she prepared a fireball for the last hit.
Suddenly – when she stepped into its range – an earth spike shot out from the ground.
Just as the girl was about to be pierced, a tall figure charged over, knocking her backwards. In her stead, however, the figure was stabbed – and perished.
When the figure was stabbed, the chubby boy’s face turned pale. The big and tall figure was a Runic Summon of his. Since it died, he, its master, was suffering from the backlash.
However, rather than the backlash itself, what pained the boy more was the loss of his summon – a summon that he had been raising for two whole months.
The only silver lining was that the girl wasn’t injured, and she had succeeded in unleashing the final blow.
“Boom!”
The girl’s blazing fireball smashed into the Wild Boar King, blasting it to smithereens.
Four glowing lights – drops – flew out.
Two of the glowing lights were transparent, indicating [Common] rarity, but the other two were bright white lights – [Uncommon] drops!
Hunting was like playing the lottery – and they had hit the jackpot by winning two [Uncommon] drops!
“Worth it!”
At this moment, the boy and his party shared the same thoughts.
They began to gather in front to check out the drops.
“A [Common] Summoning Rune: Yellow Turban Soldier, a [Common] Runic Armament: Wild Boar Crossbow, an [Uncommon] Magic Rune: Earth Spike, and an [Uncommon] Boar King Heart!”
“Two [Uncommon] drops from a single boss. I must say, Sister Hong, you are truly as lucky as your name implies!
“But of course! Who do you think I am?”
Apart from the chubby boy, the remaining four were huddled together in excitement over the loot.
The chubby boy, upon seeing this, stepped forward to join them.
Before he could get closer, however, Sister Hong, the girl in red, checked the time and declared:
“It’s nine-plus and getting late. Let’s call it a day, everyone. Have a good rest. We’ll decide on the loot distribution tomorrow.”
“Alright!”
The other three teammates nodded in agreement. It was worth noting that none of them seemed to acknowledge or care about the boy’s opinion.
Sister Hong, though, paused to look at him.
“I almost forgot. Wu Wei, your summon died just now. Since this dropped, I’ll give it to you. You should also rest early instead of wasting time doing pointless things.”

She then handed a [Common] drop to the boy before summoning her [Book of Runes], upon which, with a light tap, she logged out from Runic World.
Only the boy, Wu Wei, was left in Wild Boar Valley in the blink of an eye.
Seeing how his team members felt about him from how they treated him was painfully obvious.
Nonetheless, such treatment was pretty much the norm for Runic Summoners (specifically, low-level Runic Summoners) in a party!
Although high-levelled Runic Summoners possessed strength comparable to an entire party, low-level Runic Summoners offered little to no utility.
Especially for a Summoner like Wu Wei, whose first Core Rune was [Yellow Turban Soldier], things were quite bad. For the summoning itself to be so weak, what more the Summoner? To put it bluntly, he was seen as a burden.
To include a Runic Summoner in the party was often thought of as equivalent to having a dog tagging along. How would a Summoner feel if they were treated like that?
Such ostracisation left Wu Wei feeling quite depressed.
Wu Wei pat his face to cheer himself up.
“Don’t mind it, don’t mind it! Everything is for the sake of becoming stronger!”
Wu Wei was not the type of person to complain. Hence, in his opinion, there were two ways to resolve his situation: either by leaving the team or changing his teammates’ perception of him.
As he couldn’t leave the team with how weak he was, he needed to buck up.
However, since he could not contribute much to the party in terms of strength, he concluded that he would have to find some role to work on to make himself indispensable to the team.
“It’s only 9 PM now. I’ll revive Yellow and then explore this map before leaving!”
Wu Wei crushed the [Common] light in his hand as he spoke.
Following a loud crack, a rune appeared within Wu Wei’s palm.
He held the rune up with his hand and summoned his Book of Runes.
The Book of Runes was something that automatically awakened within Runemasters once they reached the age of eighteen. It had two main functions: one – to inscribe Core Runes – and two – to serve as the Runemaster’s medium of passage to Runic World.
Wu Wei opened his Book of Runes. Although it was called a book, there was only one page for now.
On this single page was inscribed a rune. It was similar to the [Yellow Turban Soldier] rune in Wu Wei’s hand but, on closer observation, had a more intricate appearance.
The rune in the book and the rune in his hand were the same type of rune, the difference being that the inscribed rune was Level 7, so its inscription appeared more developed.
Wu Wei took the Yellow Turban Soldier rune and placed it on the inscribed Core Rune.
For Rune Summoners like Wu Wei, there were several ways to revive fallen summons. The first way would be to simply wait – the summon would resurrect itself over time.
Unfortunately, the time this method would take to revive was not short. Furthermore, it would revive with a level penalty.
For example, a Level 7 Yellow Turban Soldier would resurrect at Level 3 – or even lower.
As for the second method – if the Summoner possessed the same type of rune, they could use it to ‘re-charge’ their Core Rune, in which case the revival would be significantly accelerated – and with minimal penalty. Summons revived in this manner would only lose one or two levels.
As the Yellow Turban Soldier rune in Wu Wei’s hand came into contact with the one in his book, it began to glow. It then turned into a stream of particles that flowed into the Book of Runes.
In the next instant, the inscribed rune regained its glow, and, as the backlash subsided, Wu Wei started to feel better.

Suddenly, a barely discernable line of words appeared in Wu Wei’s vision.
[Ding! Condition 1 Fulfilled!]
“What the?”
Wu Wei’s eyes widened as he attempted to look closer, but the words had already disappeared.
Wu Wei was utterly dumbfounded. He subconsciously opened his attribute window to check…
